TwitterBerry: The Convergence of Two Technology Addictions

As a Blackberry addict, and increasingly a user of Twitter, I was pretty pumped to learn about TwitterBerry via Download Squad this afternoon. As the name suggests, it’s a version of Twitter optimized for the Blackberry, and it is very well executed.

To get started, I downloaded TwitterBerry over the air (OTA) by going to http://www.orangatame.com/ota/twitterberry/ on the mobile browser of my Blackberry Pearl. The download took only a few seconds, and then asked for my Twitter credentials. You can also download using a USB cable if you prefer.

Once that was done, I had access to all of the main components of the Twitter interface: the ability to post an update, see any replies to me, and also check out my timeline, friend timeline, and the public timeline. All of these come with user pictures right next to the respective updates. When posting an update via TwitterBerry, the program will even conveniently tell you how many characters you have remaining.

I check Facebook status updates all the time using their Blackberry app, and I imagine TwitterBerry will ultimately lead to a similar addiction for me. Kudos to the developers of this very simple yet powerful app.
